Sierra Designs LX 45° Polarguard 3D Sleeping Bag - Long

Advantages: Warm, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size

...Ultralite 900 is just 1kg. But the weight is not a problem with the excellent nights sleep you will be recieveing. It says the bag can be used down to about -30, but i wouldnt use this bag anywhere less than about -15 (the comfort rating.) -30 is when skin starts to turn black so a high end down bag would be prefered in a situation such as that. When inside the bag it isnt that spacious, which can be a good or a bad thing, whichever way you look at it. On one hand it makes the bag warmer, but if you are a slightly larger person, then this isnt the bag for you.

Advantages: Warm, light, confortable
Disadvantages: No shoulder/neck baffle, zip can snag at times.

...The Piute (also availble; woman\'s Piute) is a warm and cozy sleeping bag. Its price is a reflection of its quality and appears reasonable compared to other bags of similar specifictions. Its lightweight design is very useful for back packing or anytime that space is at a premium. It comes with a small stuff sack that it fits into neatly, although could be compressed further (not recomended for down bags, especially not for longer periods of time). The hood offers superb protection from the cold although it could possibly benefit from a second draw string baffle around the neck.shoulders area. However the drawstring around the top of the hood to enclose around the face is confortable and good at keeping the heat in whist allowing freedom of movement. When using this bag i (very) occasionally have a little trouble with the zip... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, light, the back packers friend
Disadvantages: Bulky, can damage pride if mate beats you in combat ;o)

...These mats changed my whole life! I've been going camping for donkey's years and therefore will probably have serious back trouble when I hit 45. But these mats may have just saved me years of agro in the future. Of course, they aren't THE most important piece of kit (a tent and a sleeping bag are), they can certainly help you have a comfortable nights sleep- even if you happen to be sleeping directly over an unconveniently positioned rock. These mats can be bought for as little as a fiver. Don't mess about with these camp bed things you get in Argos and everywhere else because they are too bulky and heavy and these mats work just as well. They also have the advantage of being extremely light (as they are made of foam) and can also be used in armed combat with your camping buddies when rolled up! What more can you want? Only drawback... Read review
